The Women's Vapour Lace is a technical shoe that excels at standing on small edges and precise movements, making it the perfect shoe for face climbing on small edges, long routes and multi-pitch climbing. The Women's Vapour Lace has the same last as the Vapour V Women's on the front three quarters but with a stiffer midsole and a new slightly shallower PAF heel that spreads the pressure over the Achilles making it more comfortable at the back of the shoe whilst still providing a more precise toe. A full-length sole of Vibram XS edge rubber wraps into the arch-supporting your foot when your standing on minuscule edges, XS Edge is an incredibly sticky yet durable rubber that will stick to slippery polished edges like glue. It features a seamless off-set toe box that is slightly downturned along with a medium to low angle makes it a really balanced shoe. The upper is microfibre which has minimal stretch and is vegan friendly, it also has TPU straps along with the side panels instead of stitching which reduces stretch in the upper material and keep a smooth, soft, comfortable interior. Unlike a lot of stiffer climbing shoes more aimed towards face climbing and multi-pitch climbing the Women's Vapour Lace has a large rubber toe patch for toe hooking, it features a seamless dual-density rubber toe cap that is soft and elasticated which makes it very comfortable for toe hooking and also protects the fabric material on the shoe from scrapping it up the wall on balance technical moves. It has the same size in terms of volume and length as the Vapour V Women's but with a different fit. If your looking for the ultimate face climbing, multi-pitch and trad climbing shoe look no further. Scarpa Vapor Lace Womens Climbing Shoe
